There was a point last year where I thought I'd probably never be able to listen to music again. It was the bleakest of times. So I made up for it in January and listened to as much as I could. I'd say I listened to more music in that month than I listened to… Continue reading The Wyrd Sounds Of January
Do you need something wicked to darken your day? Then I have just the thing!

Come and find us here.
Today has been one of those days where I've been scanning the horizon, looking for someone to come kill me. Nobody came, which is a good thing because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to experience this deep sense of pride for the release of Cave Mouth's debut album HEX. For those of you not… Continue reading The Release Day Of HEX
What's this now? A new post? Yes folks, I'm as surprised as you, but here we are. Before I treat (?) you to today's sound(s), I want to raise a cup of tea to Wyrd Words & Effigies sixth year floating in the blogosphere. Seventy-two full moons ago, I wrote the very first of the… Continue reading Sound(s) Of The Day : Cave Mouth
Belgrade based dark ambient project Paleowolf has been my sound of the day several times before, and for good reason - the music crafted is sonic perfection. This morning I stumbled across Megafauna Rituals, the project's 4th full-length album, and it's providing the soundtrack to my entire wednesday. How there can be just one man… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Paleowolf

Regn is an ambient sort of project. Mai herself says that she 'makes weird sounds with limited tools.' Witching Hour is my… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Regn
I've needed to gather strength from every source today. Warrior by Anilah and featuring Wardruna has been my Sound Of The Day before, but it has a rightful place here again.
My head has been a complete mess today, so I needed something that would calm me the fuck down. Paleowolf always works wonders for my stress levels. Today I have the track Archaic Eon on a loop.
Austrian dark ambient due The Moon Lay Hidden Behind A Cloud is a project which I can recall sneaked into my life at some time or other, but was sadly forgotten about...until today. I'm working my way through all of their stuff and am currently infatuated with the following track from their 1994 album Amara… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : The Moon Lay Hidden Behind A Cloud
It's been a somewhat dismal start to the week, so some ambient sounds made a perfect accompaniment to my bleak hours. The dark ambient/doom band I've been listening to are called Öröm, and hail from Hungary. Their 2015 album O is a fine offering, especially the track Hajnal.
